Time to venture out

One of my 12 in 12 goals is to compete in a competitive event.

I am venturing out into unfamiliar territory here.

Daryl and I have been looking for an even we can complete together. We've looked at 5k events. We have checked into a cycling event (MS 150), but realized we were not in shape, nor did we have thousands of dollars to spend on street bikes for the both of us.

Daryl read about a mud run in Dallas. It sounded fun, but in reality, I knew we would not be able to afford a trip to Dallas. And what would we do with the babies? I'm not ready to have them spend the night yet.

I did some research and found a local mud run.

May 26, we will be competing in a 5k mudrun. It isn't just running though. It is a full on obstacle course that will have us climbing, crawling, swinging on ropes, and jumping into, you guessed it, mud pits.

Hopefully this experience will be fun, despite getting mud in every part of my body. We will be competing with my brother, which will be tons of fun. I hope that I am able to complete some of the obstacles, and feel at least kind of tough.

Pictures to come, for sure.
